The longing of wanting another and the road it takes all of us on. Enjoy it while it lasts
Your name on my lips at once to your ear
To caress fingertips and see you more clear
Your head on my chest or your hand inside mine
With your life to be blessed, your lips stained as wine
A smile on your face meant only for me
Secret lines to trace where no one can see
A laugh from you filled with unhidden love
The truest of truths are these things I've dreamt of
An unbound desire as the animals might
One night by the fire, one joyous beautiful night
To spell out your name in the lines of my days
In you to see the same as clear becomes haze
To not have to lie, ever have to steal
Forget how to cry and never need to heal
To love you with joy and once more with pain
To be your love, or just a toy; make me whole, or drive me insane
To give you the choice and to have you agree
To give you my voice so that I become free
If forever I had that you would be there
Happy and sad, lost without a care
If only you wished on a star I'd found
I pray only for this as I'm flying high, my feet on ground
To speak of nothing and do so loudly
Hold on to something and do so proudly
Giggling without cause, for no reason at all
To dream without pause never need to call
To rage in your grip and die in your bed
Your taste on my lip your face in my head
To not feel so wrong or inside so bad
To love you with song like the only I've had
To shiver in your sight, quiver at your touch
To hold you at night with dreams like butterflies, sunshine and such
To only be normal and do normal things
Don't seem so horrible for now you've given me wings
Like the light from above, the fire from below
To fly as the white dove this thing I now know
I could write these for days and again for years
You've set me ablaze now things are clearer
But all of these wants shall never come true
For we only have months and I don't have you.
